The First Strike
Living with GangstersHi guys, I hope to seek your understanding with this short notice.
I've already written until Chapter 32, but I still need to double check the previous chapters to see if I have left anything out, hence the updates will be slower. I will release the chapters when I'm confident enough that the story will progress smoothly :)
The comments for this story about asking me to update actually does motivates to update quicker, thank you guys!

Daehyun walked swiftly along the corridors.
The atmosphere was tense. The only sound he could hear was the sound of his shoes skidding against the concrete floor.
He didn't spot anyone so far, but he was sure he would see someone soon. As expected, he heard rushed footsteps in the corner near him. Daehyun halted and aimed his gun, just in case.
But it only turned out to be Youngjae.
"Jae?" Daehyun peered at him with wide eyes. His right hand returned to his side. "What are you-"
'BANG!'
Daehyun stood rooted to his spot. *What was that?* He asked himself with a racing heart. That deathly sound sounded like it came from the level below him. A panting Youngjae ran to his side.
"There's no time."
Youngjae grabbed Daehyun's hand where his gun was. "What are you doing?!" Daehyun instinctively removed himself from the latter's grasp. "YAH!" Youngjae yelled at him, and he paused, appalled at Youngjae's actions.
Youngjae switched his gun with Daehyun's. Daehyun stared at Youngjae's gun, which was now in his possession.
Youngjae then held him by his shoulder. Daehyun looked at Youngjae with a confused expression. "Why..."
"I don't... have time to explain." Youngjae said as he tried to catch his breath. He then looked at Daehyun with determined eyes.
"But I trust that you will make wise decisions, right?"
Youngjae patted him twice on the shoulder. He always did this in order to comfort or assure Daehyun. He then began to sprint off again.
Daehyun whirled around, "Yah- Jae, YOUNGJAE!" He yelled, but Youngjae showed no signs of turning back. Daehyun caught a last glimpse of Youngjae as he turned the corner and disappeared.
He doubtfully returned his gaze to the gun in his hands.

Chunji fell back as the pain seared through him.
Hoya defensively stood in front of Chunji in an attempt to protect him from further injury. Hoya began to whip out the gun that he had found. Jongup was unfazed, and began to fire another shot, at the same time Hoya fired his.
Another one was down. Hoya knelt as he held on to his bleeding ankle, yelling out in anguish.
Woohyun swiftly fired a shot from his hiding place. Jongup was taken back by surprise as he staggered back, collapsing on the ground. Woohyun got up and immediately rushed to aid Hoya and Chunji.
"Chunji! You okay?" Chunji nodded as he held onto his bleeding arm and hissed in pain.
"Woohyun..."
Woohyun turned to look at Hoya.
"I don't think I'll be moving for some time now." Hoya tried to move his leg, but he winced his pain as the pain shot through his body. He gritted his teeth. "You should take the remaining weapons, and give it to the other members."
"But-"
"Time is running out." Hoya shoved his own gun towards Woohyun. Woohyun looked back at Chunji.
Chunji closed his eyes and managed a small nod, as if agreeing with what Hoya had said.
